Age is not measured by years EALTH itself determines HEALTH itself the length of life and your enjoyment of it. Because of their physical well-being, many people in advanced years carry youth well into later life. Their joys, their pleasures, their whole outlook on life is that of youth. The eminent bacteriologist, Metchnikoff, claimed that "old age" is due in great part to poisons generated in the intestinal canal. Cumulative Effect As the dropping of water wears away the stone, so does the continued action of intestinal poisons enfeeble the body. Constipation of long standing is responsible for many of the maladies of old age-hardened arteries, high blood pressure, hemorrhoids (piles), kidney and bladder troubles, and the like. It favors the advance of asthma, catarrh, rheumatism, and other ailments that bring discomfort and suffering to those in later life. After Life's High-Noon Elderly people are usually deficient in intestinal mucus-that fluid normally secreted in the intestinal tube to assist the passage of food waste. Nujol takes the place of this deficient mucus. It lubricates the intestines, and penetrates and helps to remove hardened layers of matter that often adhere to the bowel walls. It soothes irritated or abraded spots. It absorbs many poisons and carries them out of the body. Nujol is prescribed by leading medical authorities as a safe and efficient aid to health in advanced years as it relieves constipation without any unpleasant or weakening effects. By softening the food waste, it enables the many tiny muscles in the walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their normal way, to squeeze this waste along so that it passes naturally out of the system. Nujol prevents constipation because it helps Nature to maintain easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals-the healthiest habit in the world. Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it. Nujol REG. U.S. PAT. OFF.

Address applications to Carrier Department THE OUTLOOK COMPANY, 381 Fourth Avenue, NEW YORK HE President of the Baldwin Locom Ttive Works, Mr. Samuel M. Vauclau says that when you are upset over business problem it's a pretty good thin to go to the theater. He did this on when the biggest steam hammer in E works had been broken at a critical time. During the show he remembere that a junk dealer in town had a castin that might be used to repair the har mer, which otherwise would be out commission for a month. At fou o'clock the next morning he was on h. way with a team to the dealer's yar at seven o'clock he had the casting i the shop, and by noon the hammer wa running again and he had saved th situation. "When the train reached McAleste the robbers stopped it and made the escape with approximately $2,000 whic they had taken from the passengers An element of humor in this otherwise lugubrious situation is revealed wher it is recalled that the State Prison of Oklahoma is at McAlester. Ingenious Boy Scouts of Maxwell, Iowa, built a motor truck out of junked parts of automobiles, with the addition of a damaged stationary engine which cost them $10. The car makes only ten miles an hour, but it can carry a big load of boys and their dunnage when they go on long hikes. This home-made car made the round trip to the State Fair, where it aroused much interest. "I don't know of any going businesses over two hundred years old," a subscriber writes, "but I have been working twenty-seven and one-half years for a company that has been making iron and steel at High Bridge, New Jersey, since 1742, and has supplied ammunition for every American war since. I sen! you an account of presentation of service emblems to employees in 1919. A: that time, you will notice, we had seve men who had worked for us over fifty years, 110 over twenty-five years, and 490 over five years. The company's name is the Taylor-Wharton Iron and Steel Company." In 1802 Earl Mount Cashell, an Irish peer, with his family visited France Miss Wilmot, a member of the party wrote her impressions of the trip in let ters home. These have just been pub lished in book form under the title "An Irish Peer on the Continent." Of Napoleon (then First Consul) Miss Wilmot says: The 5th of this Month we dined at the Thuilleries with Bonaparte. After passing through various Antechambers where were bands of military music, we at length reach'd the room where Madame Bonaparte sat under a canopy blazing in Purple and diamonds. More than two hundred persons were assembled and Bonaparte walk'd about the room speaking politely to everybody. His countenance is delightful when animated by conversation, and the expression in the lower part of his Face pleasing to the greatest degree; his eyes are reflec tion itself, but so charming a smile as his, I never scarcely beheld. His dress was simple and his air, tho' reserv'd, announcing everything of the polish'd gentleman. In another letter Miss Wilmot describes a review by Napoleon: Bonaparte rode on a white charger dressed in the grand costume of Office, which was scarlet velvet richly embroidered with gold. He looked as pale as ashes, and the expression of his countenance was stern severity. His hair is dark, which he wears without powder, and his person (which is remarkably small) appears perfectly proportion'd. Except the national cockade, he wore no ornament in his hat, which circumstance distinguish'd him from all the others, whose hats were great repositories for Brocade and grandeur. All the Regiments saluted Bonaparte, and the entire spectacle was extremely brilliant, and I was more gratified than I ever was by a warlike pageant in all my life. Miss Wilmot's meeting with Talleyrand, who handed her in to dinner at a state function, gave her an unpleasant impression of him. She says: At a distance his Face is large, pale and flat, like a Cream Cheese, but on approaching nearer, cunning and rank hypocrisy supplant all other resemblances. On sitting down to dinner, he spoke on different subjects politely enough and mentioned his having been in England. . . . Just then after dismissing his soup, he enter'd with interest upon his dinner and certainly such a gourmandeur never was it before my fate to behold. For the length of two hours his mouth was never closed, and even at the intervals of plate changing he fill'd up crevices by demolishing a dish of raw Artichokes, in his neighbourhood. Oh! such a cormorant! . . . However, dinner was at length finish'd and Talleyrand presented me his fat paw, to conduct me back again into the drawing room. A swordfish of monster size was hoisted up on the pier where the day's catch was being landed, the Boston "Transcript" says in illustrating the point that the old fish stories are the best ones. The countryman who saw it could hardly believe his senses, and when he at last recovered himself sufficiently to speak, it was only to exclaim: "The man who caught that fish is a darn liar!" A paper substitute for glass which was used during war times in the devastated districts of France has now, it is reported, been found extremely useful by truck farmers and horticulturists. It admits heat and light in the same degree as glass, and its cheapness is leading to a wide use of it. The origin of the tunes to which many famous songs are sung is obscure, according to a newly published "Dictionary of Musical Compositions." Among songs thus characterized are: "The Wearin' o' the Green," "John Brown's Body," "God Save the King," "Down Among the Dead Men," "Yankee Doodle," "Star-Spangled Banner," and "Lochaber No More."

WHEN Re-roof for the last time -right over the old shingles WHEN a house owner is in the market for a new roof in these days of costly labor and materials, he thinks twice before he buys. First he thinks of permanence; second he thinks of economytwo considerations met perfectly by laying Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles over the old wooden or asphalt shingles. An economy from the start Of course, you save money this way, since you do not have to tear off the old shingles, nor do you have to put on new sheathing boards. But it is not so much a question of being able to afford tearing off the old roof; by leaving the old shingles on you have that additional insulation and protection. Tearing off the old shingles was always a nuisance and even a destruction-broken shrubbery, littered lawns, and a great cutter Increases property value The condition of a roof is strongly re- is not surprising then, that Johns - Manville Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles are Restoration that has endured for uncounted ages. Each shingle is an artistic slab of everlasting mineral. No more re-roofing These shingles can neither curl nor chip, warp nor shale. As there is nothing in them to decay, rust or burn, they are practically indestructible. So you can be sure that the next re-roofing bill you pay will be the last one if you use Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles. The Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., whose business it is to classify building materials in regard to fire risk, give to Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles the highest ratings. JOHNS-MANVILLE, Inc.
